Dear Sir:
You are advised that it appears from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, W. 7045, that Joshua Drummond enlisted in Fauquier County, Virginia, and served three years as matross in Captain Elias Edmunds' Virginia company, and was at the siege of Yorktown.
He died September 30, 1831.
Soldier married March 10, 1786, Mary Kidwell.
On account of the soldier's service in the Revolutionary War, his widow, Mary, was allowed pension on her application executed August 10, 1838, at which time she was living in Rappahannock County, Virginia, aged seventy-six years.
In 1843 the widow, Mary, was still a resident of Rappahannock County, Virginia, and stated that she was seventy-four years of age; no explanation is made of the discrepancy.
There is no reference to children.
Very truly yours
